Ryan wants to be noticed. He wants to portray himself — a politician who has been elected by comparatively few people in his small district — as someone who is on equal footing with Trump, who has been winning elections nationwide. He wants to be seen as a man so powerful and big that he can force Trump to court him, etc. It is all optics for his upcoming election. He is facing a challenger in a few months.
His election to his office is not a sign of his strength but is a sign of the weakness of the Republican body that elected him.
Ryan is really a sissy who got lucky.
Yep, worth repeating.
